While Christmas is just round the corner, the team at the Pan Pacific Singapore has been busy getting their menu and dishes perfected for the Chinese New Year next year (19 February 2015). Choose from one of three amazing restaurants to celebrate the Lunar New Year next year - Hai Tien Lo (my personal favourite), Keyaki or Edge!

Chinese New Year is traditionally centred on joyous gatherings with loved ones and Hai Tien Lo’s selection of two Pen Cai gives guests more reason to celebrate. Symbolising abundance and good fortune, these decadent pen cai present a magnificent range of fresh seafood and premium ingredients including Whole Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Prawn and Fish Maw. Guests who select Blossoming Prosperity Pen Cai and Golden Opulence Pen Cai, designed for six and 10 guests respectively, will enjoy complimentary Koi Fish Nian Gao with every order. Priced from $368 for six guests, the pen cai is available for both dine-in and takeaway.

Hai Tien Lo also has a wide selection of Chinese New Year goodies that are ideal gifts and set menus for intimate celebrations with family or friends. Send well wishes to family and friends with all-time favourites – Signature Homemade XO Chili Sauce or Koi Fish Nian Gao that symbolises abundance and surplus. Other items to enhance the festivities include a diverse selection of Yusheng platters, assortment of barbecued items and convenient takeaway sets for heart-warming reunions and family gatherings. Guests purchasing takeaway set menus will enjoy a complimentary Koi Fish Nian Gao and Homemade Caramel Walnuts with Sesame with their orders.

Toss to a year of abundance and good fortune with Hai Tien Lo’s Flourishing Prosperity Yusheng featuring a lavish spread of Lobster, Alaskan Crab, Hokkaido Scallop, Norwegian Salmon and Japanese Kelp. Guests can select from a range of six different Yusheng platters, each auspiciously named, presenting a decadent selection of fresh seafood. Hai Tien Lo’s Yusheng platters are priced between $38 and $228 and are available in both small and large sizes.

In a culinary tribute to the Lunar New Year, Keyaki presents an epicurean twist to the enduring tradition of Lo Hei with two exquisite Yusheng presentations. Comprising seasonal vegetables and exquisite tuna, salmon and yellowtail sashimi, the dishes are uplifted with a liberal dusting of gold and silver flakes, conveying wishes of wealth and health for the New Year, while adding an auspicious lustre to the dish. The Wafu Yusheng ($118) serves four guests; while the Fu Yusheng ($298) is enhanced with the rich flavour of uni (sea urchin) and creamy texture of lobster, serves 10 guests. Both selections are available exclusively for dine-in at Keyaki from 5 February to 5 March 2015.
